This project aims to develop a new class of emulsion explosives, which are not susceptible to hot and reactive rock conditions in very deep-level ore mines. These emulsions will contain a tuneable polymer network to prevent collapsing of the emulsion columns in hot upholes in high temperature mines, along with additives to eliminate the exothermic reaction with the rocks. If not prevented the reaction can cause premature detonation or deflagration of the emulsion causing fatal injuries and generation of toxic NOx gases. Increase in economically and safely extractable deep-level ore volume that generates greater export earnings and more jobs are expected project outcomes, as is reduced atmospheric pollution.

该项目旨在开发一种新型的乳化炸药，这种炸药在极深的矿场中不受热岩和反应岩石条件的影响。这些乳状液将包含可调节的聚合物网络，以防止高温矿井中热软垫中的乳胶柱坍塌，以及消除与岩石的放热反应的添加剂。如果不加以预防，该反应可能导致乳化液过早爆炸或燃烧，造成致命伤害，并产生有毒的氮氧化物气体。预计项目成果是增加经济和安全可开采的深部矿石数量，从而产生更多出口收入和更多就业机会，同时减少大气污染。
